Avoid These Three Fish for a Healthier Tomorrow

Constant and repeated is the recommendation of experts for more fish consumption in the daily diet, however there are exceptions.

As reported by the Spanish Cardiology Foundation (FEC), “fish contains 18-20% high biological value proteins, is an excellent source of B vitamins, as well as fat-soluble vitamins A and D. It is also rich in iodine, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium (if eaten with the bones) and is low in connective tissue, which makes it easier to digest.”

However, many consumers choose fish that are not the healthiest, such as smoked salmon, crab legs or fish sticks. These products, although popular, can be harmful to health.

Apart from these, however, there are other fish that doctors advise to avoid.

-The panga

The panga, which also comes from Asia. 90% of pangas comes from the Mekong River in Southeast Asia, one of the most polluted waters in the world.

-The perch

Finally, perch, an African fish often consumed in recipes as breaded and cooked dishes, is recommended to be avoided. The Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has been recommending against consumption of perch from Lake Victoria in Africa since 2017, as pesticide residues and traces of mercury were found in its fillets, although they were within legal limits.
